The 2014 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Survey is an anachronism : Comments

By Maggie Walter, published 6/8/2013

The NATSISS looks at Aboriginal issues as problems rather than looking for solutions.

From the article:"These objectives are all about Indigenous people, not for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. This gap is more than semantics."

This beautifully and tragically sums up the entire social justice approach in Australia, where rent-seekers interpose themselves between the source of funds and the people for whom the funds are intended, using methodologically-flawed research such as that described as justification.

This is the case in every social justice issue I can think of and it has to be stopped. It leads to those rent-seekers doing well from the funds that should have been used to help the targets of the funding, while those targets are left with second-hand ideas from second-rate people as their only payoff.

Congratulations, Dr Walter, but watch your back...
